TOREX-POWERFULLY SMALL!

TOREX Semiconductor Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of analogue CMOS power management ICs, specialise in very high performance, low quiescent current linear and switching regulators and supervisor ICs.

A single team of professionals takes charge of every phase of a new product development project, from design to after-sales service. The flexible corporate culture established at TOREX, both nurtures and inspires creativity. We quickly turn designers' new product ideas into real products.
Taking full advantage of its advanced analogue and CMOS technologies, TOREX consistently develops products offering extremely low current consumption and performance lead characteristics, which easily exceed the levels achieved with traditional bipolar IC technology.


Torex Products
Laser trimming technology, voltage setting in steps of 0.05V, and a high set voltage precision of /-1%, TOREX packaged products guarantee the very highest quality and accuracy. Latest product introductions include ICs that incorporate our new power saving 'Green Operation' GO mode, a 25V input CMOS linear regulator with only 5uA supply current as well as multi function ICs combining high-speed regulator and voltage detector technologies.

 

Besides responding to the increasing demand for compact product packaging, our optimised power supply circuitry gives designers the flexibility they need for the next generation of portable applications.

Green Operation
At the forefront of technology, we have successfully developed a number of innovative design features. 'Green Operation', for example, is a new feature that has been developed as a direct result of TOREX's pioneering approach and is incorporated into a number of new products, the XC6217 LDO regulator for example, that monitor the output load current within the IC. This enables the IC to automatically enter a power saving, 'sleep' mode whenever the output load falls below a certain level, which in turn lowers overall current consumption.



Inside this edition of Impulse you will find a copy of our latest 'Power Management Solutions' brochure - Issue 6, Winter 2006.

Come and see what solutions Torex can offer for your power management needs during the Electronica show. We're in Hall A5, stand 507, Codico's stand.
